    Maybe she has sorted everything out.

    hi, sorry not updated my post. Things going well, think there is still a bit of a trust issue, ie; he occasionally asks if I am being up front with him, or am I hiding anything, but thats to be expected as I did cover alot of things up. Generally though, I think we are getting back on track and the CCCS have been amazing.

    Thanks for asking about me, I sort of assumed I was 'old news' as this site is so busy. I do come on and read new posts but I don't feel quite able to offer much advice, but this site and the advice given to me probably saved my marriage.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Fab news Mrs Lady, its good when you are working as a team too, and if nothing else its character building, i am convincing myself honest, lol

    keep smiling and on this journey you will be able to help others, perhaps at the moment you feel you cant, but personal experience is always the best advice anyone can give anyone else i believe.

    So keep happy and dont be afraid to give your opinion on occasions, you might just be the person who can turn it around for someone else

    Ciao for now and have a fun sunday to all too - MAZ

    Mrs Lady just read all ten pages of this thread and wanted to say that I was so impressed with your courage, generosity of spirit and kindness (even to the horrible insurance man, who I would have spat at if he came to my door again)

    Hope all is going well and you are happy
